Candy Crush Soda Saga Level 18

Tips & Strategies

Written by our expert Candy Crush players

Use the coloring candy wisely

This level has a lot of candies locked up in licorice cages initially, which, combined with the ice, makes the level seem pretty daunting. But you usually have at least one coloring candy at your disposal, so make it count--your coloring candy will change all matching candies to whatever the color of whatever you bond it with, so look at the layout of the board and see what color will help you produce some more special candies right off the bat.

Fuse color bombs with striped candies

This brings us to the next big tip--after most of the cages are cleared (which is no easy task), you need to start dealing with the ice. This, too, can seem daunting, but if you focus on making a color bomb, you can start looking to fuse it with a striped candy. In such a large level, combining the color bomb with the striped candy will turn a large percentage of the candies into striped candies themselves, setting off a chain reaction that can clear large portions of the board.

Focus on the small bears

This level has 16 bears. That's a lot of bears. What's worse, some of the bears are huge, spanning eighteen squares. Instead of initially trying to chip away at these bigger bears (once they're revealed from under the ice), you should instead focus on the low-hanging fruit--the smaller bears. Clearing these bears will help you get to your goal faster and ensure that you're using your big guns--the special candy combos--in the right order.
